There are 2 technologies used to secure e-mail messages: S/MIME (based on X.509 certificates) and PGP/MIME (based on PGP keys). Both technologies are supported by MIMEBlackbox and both are shown in the SecureMail sample.

To decrypt a S/MIME message, it's needed to provide the X.509 certificate (usually stored in a CER/PEM/PFX file) used to encrypt the message and the corresponding private key (it can be stored separately or in the same PEM/PFX file).

To decrypt a PGP/MIME message, it's needed to provide the keyring which contains the public key used to encrypt the message and the corresponding secret key.

Just like key rings there is a PGPKeyDemo solution to generate key rings(public and secure) similarly is there any other solution to generate certificate(.cer) file and its corresponding private key so that i can use to encrypt and decrypt emails.
